========================================
Was watching youtube when phone goes blank. Any combination of power/volume keys did not turn on the phone. Charging the phone and no red indicator light. Connected to a PC and device was identified as "QUSB_BULK_CID" followed by a serial number. There is an XDA thread on flashing firmware in EDL mode and I tried that. But it did not help me. Looks like an hardware issue.
Last year, I had a problem with camera and solution was to replace motherboard under warranty. Now this.. hesitant to visit service center again, no point in wasting time in such **** hardware..

An update:
After sharing my details, someone from Asus got in touch with me. Instead of speculating, they asked me to give the device to a service center. I was skeptical, with all the complaints about dead zenfone 6.
Anyways, I did give the device to nearest service center and as expected, the solution is to replace the motherboard. It would cost as much as when I bought the device new. There is no way I would repair this device by spending money! This is the second time asking for motherboard replacement (within a year). So much for the quality for Asus phones and their service center experience.
